Same people in every thread. If you throw enough negativity occasionally something will stick.It doesn't surprise me though
Others it’ll make you look that much of a tit

They are the main unofficial source for Barcelona news, and have good sources, but they are also a bit... dodgy.How reliable are sport?
Who are you talking about? Because that's certainly not McTominay.Physical, aerial, athletic, disciplined. We have no others. I don’t think we will buy another midfielder.
for now yes, but I'm guessing Phillips is seen as a long-term signing. I don't think he'l be first choice at the start of next seasonUs. Easily.
Will be interesting to see. He needs to track runners better but perhaps ETH can help him with that.Physical, aerial, athletic, disciplined. We have no others. I don’t think we will buy another midfielder.
It depends on Barcelona's chosen narrative.How reliable are sport?
I've not seen this entire conversation, but I still think there is a useful player in Scotty. Needs bringing out but I reckon he can be physical. Are there better in the world, certainly!Who are you talking about? Because that's certainly not McTominay.
100%Who are you talking about? Because that's certainly not McTominay.
He’s older than Rodri, not as good as Rodri and injury prone.for now yes, but I'm guessing Phillips is seen as a long-term signing. I don't think he'l be first choice at the start of next season
If he is disciplined then our managers have been undisciplined.Who are you talking about? Because that's certainly not McTominay.
I'd be willing to bet that pep has a plan... but I agree that he isn't as good as Rodri. Maybe Rodri wants to move on at the end of his contract, maybe go home to SpainHe’s older than Rodri, not as good as Rodri and injury prone.
He’s a bench warmer.
well that is a reasonable description of Ole, unfortunatelyIf he is disciplined then our managers have been undisciplined.
And that plan can't be that he is a squad player like Aké?I'd be willing to bet that pep has a plan...
This I can get behind. I know PL Modric wasn’t flying around making tackles or pressing like a lunatic but he was calm composed press resistant and creative. A magic player. If we can go from McT to FDJ as you said it will be a massive upgrade. the problem is if FDJ gets injured we are probably back to Fred and McT and that’s clearly not been good enough. I think Fred and FDJ next year would be enough to get us top 4 if the forwards can find a way to spark. They will have to work much harder than they have done at any other point post Fergie though. Hopefully the hunger is there.I think he looks a fantastic player. He looks the most Modric player I’ve seen since, well Modric. For us to get a player of his quality in the position we are in is frankly quite ridiculous. He will make the world of difference to us because he’s what we’ve needed for years. He will replace McT I would think and that upgrade is huge. I’d love another signing in midfield of the same quality but I think that may come next season.
As for Barca I think the issue is similar to Pogba with us in that they have played him in the wrong position. Literally the exact opposite of how we put Pogba as a deep midfielder they played FDJ as a more advanced player. I don’t think he’s been terrible at all for them either but Ten Hag will use him properly.
They are widely recognised in Spain as Barca's mouthpiece, like Marca is for Real.How reliable are sport?
What about Mourinho? Because McTominay wasn't disciplined or competent then and he was still not disciplined under Rangnick nor is he disciplined or good for Scotland.well that is a reasonable description of Ole, unfortunately
Your bias fools your judgment.Who are you talking about? Because that's certainly not McTominay.
And you know he made a fool of modrics when Ajax won 1-4 at Madrid.I think he looks a fantastic player. He looks the most Modric player I’ve seen since, well Modric. For us to get a player of his quality in the position we are in is frankly quite ridiculous. He will make the world of difference to us because he’s what we’ve needed for years.

I think a coach with such a strong philosophy like ETH will definitely develop players to sense how and where the play will develop and evolve in game. It’s a matter how long the players can be on the same page. With a disastrous season like the past one, the players will make the greatest effort I can imagine like never before. Kinda DOA.Will be interesting to see. He needs to track runners better but perhaps ETH can help him with that.
But they signed him quicker, so who’s the real winner here?He’s older than Rodri, not as good as Rodri and injury prone.

To be fair, McT was very young back them. And I didn't say he was disciplined but that a good boss might get more out of him and he looks to have it within him to be physical. Is he my first name on the team sheet, very much no but I think he's come in for a lot of stick here when other more experienced players have been just as poorWhat about Mourinho? Because McTominay wasn't disciplined or competent then and he was still not disciplined under Rangnick nor is he disciplined or good for Scotland.
That’s the real quiz.But they signed him quicker, so who’s the real winner here?
I said I think that's what he will be this coming seasonAnd that plan can't be that he is a squad player like Aké?
My biggest question is how ETH can rediscover from the team how to score goals considering Greenwood won’t be available in near future. How can he address that?I do have a feeling that if they finally get FDJ over the line, Eriksen will follow soon after. Let's hope other transfers can be done a bit quicker.... I still want to know who is going to score out goals and who will be wearing the No.9 shirt
This is what I'm hoping - a domino effect once we get the big one out of the way.I do have a feeling that if they finally get FDJ over the line, Eriksen will follow soon after. Let's hope other transfers can be done a bit quicker.... I still want to know who is going to score out goals and who will be wearing the No.9 shirt
I don't think he'll ever be first choice at City.for now yes, but I'm guessing Phillips is seen as a long-term signing. I don't think he'l be first choice at the start of next season
To my mind, he has to go out and buy a real centre forward. It was why I thought Nunez wasn't the worst idea in the world. It's why I was hoping against hope that Spurs wouldn't finish top four and Kane might be stupid enough to join us!! We need a guy who score 20 league goals a season - something even Ronaldo won't be able to do next season and anyway, he isn't a No.9 to meMy biggest question is how ETH can rediscover from the team how to score goals considering Greenwood won’t be available in near future. How can he address that?
Ronaldo of course. Obviously in the 7 shirt though. If you meant the actual shirt number, it isn’t currently unoccupied so no mystery there.I do have a feeling that if they finally get FDJ over the line, Eriksen will follow soon after. Let's hope other transfers can be done a bit quicker.... I still want to know who is going to score out goals and who will be wearing the No.9 shirt
He wasn't very young, he started for United at 21 and he is now 25. He wasn't very young then and isn't particularly young now. It's Lingard all over again.To be fair, McT was very young back them. And I didn't say he was disciplined but that a good boss might get more out of him and he looks to have it within him to be physical. Is he my first name on the team sheet, very much no but I think he's come in for a lot of stick here when other more experienced players have been just as poor
I think he might surprise you. Pep hasn't made too many mistakes in that area over the years. I wonder if he knows something we don'tI don't think he'll ever be first choice at City.
I guess the worry would be for positions where sales are needed first. For example I can't see us signing a CB before Bailly and/or Jones leave. Nor a RB unless AWB goes. So those may take a bit longer.I do have a feeling that if they finally get FDJ over the line, Eriksen will follow soon after. Let's hope other transfers can be done a bit quicker....
